Park Bank Community Spotlight: Gigi’s Cupcakes
It’s safe to say we have never deserved dessert more than we do right now. So if you are looking for a sweet fix by way of cupcakes with frosting swirled high on top of unique flavors, including cupcake cheesecake (yes, cheesecake!), look no further than Gigi’s Cupcakes.
Located in Hilldale mall, Gigi’s are a must-try, whether you’re looking for a treat while you shop or to cater dessert for an event.
And as for the pandemic? Kimmy and Larry Lechner, owners of Gigi’s in Madison, have found new ways to continue providing their signature treats. “We do a lot more delivery and pick-up orders, and we are also seeing several more custom cake orders,” Kimmy says. They are also still catering when possible, including micro-weddings and other limited gatherings.
Additionally, they’ve hosted monthly virtual cake auctions. “The Monthly Virtual Cake Auction has been a huge hit, and we are especially proud to have added this to our repertoire during the pandemic,” says Kimmy. “We highlight a nonprofit each month and donate part of the proceeds to this nonprofit.” They have also donated numerous cupcakes to frontline workers throughout the pandemic.
To take part in the cake auction, keep tabs on specials, and check out new flavors, follow Gigi's Cupcakes on Facebook.
